TUSC says no to cuts in Notts


Karen Seymour, Mansfield Socialist Party

Not everyone is happy about the Netherfield by-election on 4 December.

One independent councillor complained it would cost too much to hold. In between now and May, residents should take any issues to the Labour councillor in neighbouring Warsop!

It must have slipped his mind that in early 2015 Nottinghamshire county council will vote on millions of pounds of cuts.

I have been selected as the TUSC candidate (see below) for the election. On the doorstep, people like our message – no cuts.

Fed up

They’re fed up with their local bus service being cut back – again. Their doctors’ surgery is rumoured to be under threat.

Their fire station always seems to be first in line for closure when cuts are considered. A strong local campaign saved it – this time.

Labour and Ukip, my opponents, wouldn’t think twice about cutting these essential services.

Netherfield deserves a councillor who will fight their relentless attacks.

The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is an electoral alliance that stands candidates against all cuts and privatisation. It involves the RMT transport workers’ union, leading members of other trade unions including the PCS, NUT and POA, the Socialist Party and other socialist and anti-cuts groups and individuals.
